Polemic

Our topic was environmental racism, and so the two sides were the victims and the perpetrators. We used generic stock images to create the background and chose to use cartoon characters to create a scenario.

Bob the Builder represents policymakers who force black and brown families into poor areas where there are power plants and factories.
